Google Malaysia has announced the grand winner of its second Doodle 4 Google competition, with 15-year-old Ch'ng Kai Wei's doodle taking the main prize ahead of three other age-group category winners.
Her doodle will be uploaded to the Google Malaysia homepage on 16 September 2017, and will be available for all to see for 24 hours.
Her doodle, titled 'United, We Shine', illustrates the cultural diversity in Malaysia
"In my doodle, I demonstrated my understanding of Malaysia's diversity by including people from different ethnicities unique to Malaysia. However, I believe that Malaysia became the vibrant country that it is today because we are united as one regardless of race, colour, and ethnicity," the Nexus International School student said.
Four finalists from the four age categories were chosen by public voting from Malaysians, while the winner was determined by the official Google Doodle team out in Mountain View, California
The four category winners are:
Age 7-9: Wan Muhammad Fahyin Bin Wan Mohd Nazdi of Sekolah Kebangsaan Kerteh, Terengganu
Age 10-12: Cheng Jun Kai, SJK(C) Kong Min, Kuantan, Pahang
Age 13-15: Ch'ng Kai Wei, Nexus International School Malaysia, Putrajaya
Age 16-17: Muhammad Khairul Aiman Bin Mohamad Zaidi, SMK Bandar Baru Sentul, Kuala Lumpur
The previous Doodle 4 Google winner was Lee Yee Run of SMJK(C) Yoke Kuan. His doodle featured a colourful rendition of the Kuala Lumpur Tower, Petronas Twin Towers, Penang Bridge, and the Jalur Gemilang.
Congrats, Kai Wei! We look forward to seeing your creation on Google's homepage next week! :D
